    Barrel charge coolers

    Just wondered if these air to water jobbies are any good?Whats required to actually run one?I just thought rather than cut a bumper up for a large fmic can you run one of these inline with your standard mount intercooler to get inlet temps down.I noticed a couple of cars in the pics from sangliers were running them.

    they do work well, but you need to get the set up right, that's where most fail, also the best intercooler /chargecooler in the world is not going to work very well if pushing a turbo past its flow effciency ,

    , said a few times now, but the celica gt4 st had chargecooler as standard, with a nice sized pre rad(25mm outlets)

    PWR kit worked nicely on my old Raider, even on track. As said, make sure the pre-rad(s) is/are upto the job though.

    Right guys im looking at getting the avt kit with a 4x6 core cooler to run inline with my standard mount ktec ic.The pre-rad is 32x10.Would this suffice?The next thing is placement.The french lads have there cooler almost parrallel to the cylinder head so i assume this is ok?
